What we thought: Another great group of goodies from Educational Insights this time around. Math Slam has really helped 5 year old A practice her math skills...this should be super helpful since she just started school:) The Hot Dots cards are a lot of fun and even though they are recommended for grades 1-3, A has been able to answer many of them already. These cards are great for vocabulary practice and span several subjects...definitely a well-rounded card game. The Hot Dots pen is a lot of fun to use and provides the positive reinforcement that keeps A wanting to answer more questions:) The MicroPro 48 piece is a very extensive microscope kit that is perfect for older scientists, I'd say 5 years and up. As long as your kiddos know how to be gentle with the microscope, they will love this. The pre-made slides were super interesting for A and the materials to make our own slides were awesome as well. This is a great kit for budding scientists. The favorite product this round was the Dino Dig Kit. This provided hours of fun for our whole family. From excavating the bones to building the models, this project was crazy fun and interesting! This was by far one of the funnest family science projects we have done and we really recommend it for your family if you have young (or old:) dino lovers! Once again, the Educational Insights products we reviewed get an A+!!
